LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ala. -- A mother who is holding out hope that her son is alive after disappearing during a dog-fighting raid is holding out hope that her
son is alive and she could be heard Tuesday calling out her son's name as searchers combed a pasture and woods, the TimesDaily newspaper reports.

The
search for 30-year-old Justin Fuqua of Leighton, Ala., began Saturday night after he and other
men ran from a raid on a dog fight. Lawrence County Sheriff Gene
Mitchell said members of Fuqua's family came to deputies after he did
not return home.

Since Saturday night,
hundreds of volunteers have searched the area along Big Nance Creek
that runs under Buck Bridge in the Cal Bottom community near Town Creek, according to a TimesDaily report.

Although it was reported Tuesday morning that a cattle
farmer on Lawrence 268 saw someone who could have been Fuqua stagger out of a wooded area and walk across a pasture before
disappearing into another wooded area behind the house, no sign of Fuqua was found.
